5.1.3.1 Automatic Channel Selection
The CODA-551x’s Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) feature enables the wireless
module to scan the wireless network environment, discover the channel on which
interference is least present, and use that channel automatically for wireless
communications on the relevant network.
Environmental analysis and channel selection occurs when the CODA-551x’s
wireless network first starts (when the relevant wireless network’s radio channel is
already set to Auto mode), when Auto mode is first selected, when the Refresh
button is pressed, or under certain specific circumstances when Dynamic Channel
Change is enabled (see
Dynamic Channel Change on page 78).
5.1.3.2 Band Steering
When wireless client devices are capable of operating on both the 2.4GHz band and
the 5GHz band, it is generally desirable for them to connect to the CODA-551x on the
5GHz wireless network, due to the likelihood of there being less interference on that
band. When enabled, band steering does this by detecting whether wireless clients
are also 5GHz-capable and, if so, encouraging the client to connect on the 5GHz
wireless network rather than the 2.4GHz wireless network.
